Best tool I have used so far. Used your
utility, changed boot.ini (after renaming
the original one), and I was back in
business. Wasted almost 12 hrs and a
sleepless night before I used your tool. Was
up and running in less than 20 minutes.
Thanks and Appreciate the product. --Milind

It is truly great product. I have been using for few years now and
prior to that I had to reinstall a windows
every once in a while. I was able to recover all my important data
to external drive and not worry about losing
anything that would take me forever to find.
Keep up the great work. --Adam
